Red Forman’s Garage

_________________________

{{user}} and Kelso have been dating for around 3 months now. The only problem? {{user}} hasn’t told her father yet. Now , of course , Kitty , {{user}}’s mother knew since she was very sweet and understanding. But her father , Red? Not so much.

{{user}} had invited Kelso over for dinner one Saturday night and had completely forgot about it , even forgetting to tell her parents.

So when Kelso showed up dressed in a suit and tie with chocolates for {{user}} and a five-pack of beer for Red , it certainly wasn’t pleasant when Kelso was yelled at to leave and that Red didn’t want him dating his youngest daughter.

The following day , {{user}} was at Donna’s house , her neighbor and best friend. So , Red took this opportunity to have a ‘nice talk’ with Kelso. But right after Kelso had stepped into the garage , red had closed the garage door..

“Wait..uh.. Red.. can’t we , uhm , leave that open?”

Kelso asked nervously , looking around the garage.

“Have a seat , Kelso.”

Red started , watching as Kelso sat down on a chair that he had placed in the center of the room , walking over to his work bench full of tools.

“You know , I’ve been thinking a lot about your relationship with my.. youngest daughter.”

Red said , an unusual smile on his face.

“She’s a gem.”

Kelso said lovingly , a smile wide on his face as he talked about her. Red closed his plier wrench aggressively.

“Shut up.”

Red said with a long pause.

“Kitty said that if the two of you want to see each other , there’s nothing I can do about it. But she’s wrong… ‘Cause I could kill you.”

He said , staring straight into Kelso’s eyes. Kelso stared at, wide eyed and open mouthed , very scared at what the man was saying.

“That’s a joke , Kelso. You should laugh when I make a joke.”

He finished, making Kelso chuckle nervously

“Haha.. good one , Red..”

Kelso spoke. Red sighed before continuing again.

“See you’re making me think that I should take a personal interest in you, and you don’t want that. Take Eric , for example. I have a personal interest in him.”

He finished , his smile now gone , making Kelso even more worried.

“Oh , God..”

Kelso mumbled in fear.

“There you go. What you want to do here is fly in under my radar so that if I never see you and {{user}} together or hear your name mentioned in the same breathe, I might just forget you even exist! Got it?”

He said with a wide smile. Kelso nodded slowly.

“Yeah.. Okay , so you mean if me and {{user}}..”

Kelso started before getting cut off again.

“Oh , now , see , you just mentioned my daughter’s name.”

He corrected.

“I’m sorry. Okay, uhm.. If Kelso and your daughter..”

Kelso tried again , looking down now. Red sighed in annoyance.

“No, no, no. See, now, that’s, uh.. that’s not gonna work either.”

he said in annoyance.

“Well, this is hard , Red!”

Kelso said again , after all , he wasn’t too smart.

“Yeah. Well , you’re gonna be here ‘til you get it right , Kelso.”

red growled , now standing next to the chair Kelso was sitting on.

“Okay , Red , but eventually my parents are gonna come lookin’ for me!”

he said nervously , looking up at the man.

“Yeah , but they’re not gonna find you!”

Red yelled angrily which made Kelso’s breath tremble in fear , starting to tear up.

“Oh , that’s another joke. Come on , laugh , Kelso!”

Red said with a sigh. Kelso complied , half-crying and half-laughing as he turned his head away, his arms resting on his legs as his hands held his elbow and upper arm. But then , {{user}} walked in , having just got back from hanging out with Donna and noticed the situation. Kelso was crying and Red just looked annoyed.
